Oly BockSeek connection. I optimize my life for the people around me, for consistency and for recovery.
Hi, I'm Oly. I've run two marathons so far, Lisbon and Munich, and I'm training for the next one. I'm also building The B2B Answer, my SEO & GEO agency for B2B, industrial companies and SMEs. This is where I write about running, building a business, and thinking a little more clearly. Subscribe and I'll send you new posts.

Two long games at the same time: getting faster on the road by running slower most of the week, and building an agency that helps B2B and industrial companies and SMEs get found on Google and show up when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI.

Why optimize for connection?
What matters at the end of life? I've spent quite some time listening to the stories of people who roamed the world for a long time. Pretty much everybody said the same thing: at the end of life, it matters to feel loved and to be at peace with your relationships.
So I optimize my life to build fulfilling connections, and to make the lives of the people around me better, as much as I can.
